Tesla accelerates autonomous technology by incorporating the hardware into all of its cars

The American brand will incorporate the hardware into all of its vehicles, and aims to reach the highest level of autonomy by the end of 2017.

The new computer for the “Autopilot” system, which from now on will be fitted to every car produced by Tesla, has a computing capacity 40 times greater than the previous generation. The system provides a view of the road that an ordinary driver cannot achieve. It is capable of seeing in all directions and across different wavelengths, meaning its visibility is not affected by rain or fog. However, and here is the catch, not all users will be able to use this service, since all cars will come with the necessary hardware but not the software required for its operation, which will cost 8,000 dollars.

Elon Musk’s goal is to develop a fully autonomous driving system by the end of 2017, a technology that, according to Tesla, should be twice as safe as a human driver.
